"You can always buy a birdhouse or a feeder, but making one with your own hands is sure to increase the joys of creating a nurturing environment for the birds that you love," suggests Ken Beck. With styles ranging from the simple to the elaborate, and with difficulty levels from beginner to experienced woodworker, these 20 designs—shown in full color, step-by-step images—offer something for any birdwatcher. The birdhouses are individually tailored for specific birds, including wrens, chickadees, woodpeckers, and barn owls, while the feeders creatively utilize such everyday materials as logs, soda bottles, and trays. Among the supplementary materials are information on the preferred foods of various birds, a list of birding organizations, and a two-page chart to keep track of your bird sightings.
